The Reflecting Pool
by Time Minder
Jim and Marium were determined to get away from the world as far as possible. They figured that the easiest way to do that would be to get lost among the hundreds of small islands that dotted the region.
Yes, this was going to be their great adventure. They guided their small boat in and out of the channels, picking no particular direction, until, at random, they settled on a small island with an inviting beach.
After a picnic, they decided to look around. While exploring, Jim discovered a cave entrance. Once inside, the tunnel oppened up to a room about the size of a concert hall. It had high ceilings and a flat, dirt floor that ended at the edge of a pool. The pool itself, although clear, gave off a greenish glow. It was a very beautiful sight. The pool was four feet deep at it's deepest section and was surrounded by the cave walls. Only at the back cave did the pool open up to several tunnels, which were also filled with water.
The couple walked in and stood at the edge of the pool. Marium spoke first. "My God, Jim, isn't this beautiful"?
Jim had to agree.."it certainly is, Hon...Hey, let's go swimming".
Marium was taken aback."What, are you kidding, we don't have any bathing suits".
Jim smiled and said "Who needs bathing suits"? and started taking off his shirt.
"Oh nooooo, I'm not going in there like that" she said "What if someone were to catch us".
Having removed his shirt, Jim unbuckled his belt, and pulled off his trousers. "Come on, Where is that adventurous spirit"? With that, he removed his underwear and socks and now stood facing her, completely naked. Marium looked him over. God, he looked good. 35 years old, and 6'1" tall with a swimmers build and tan.
His invitation was tempting, but Marium was too self concious to take him up on his offer. "No way". She said "I'm just going to sit down over here and watch you make a fool out of yourself". She moved over to a large rock that had a flat edge and took a seat.
Jim, his feelings hurt, sniffed and said "Suit yourself". He moved over to the edge of the pool and dived in head first. The cold cave water hit him at once and he yelled in delight. "Marium, you've just got to come in. This is fabulous, my whole body is tingling".
Marium just ignored him as he splashed about, his hoots and hollers bounced in multiple echos around the cavern.
After a few minutes, Jim started to get out of the pool. As he stepped to the cave floor, he seemed different to Marium; not as tall, and somewhat skinnier. Jim began towling himself off with his t-shirt.
Finally, Marium could contain herself no more. "Jim" she exclaimed, "What's happened to you? You look different....younger looking".
Jim looked at her and then walked over to the edge of the pool and looked in. A young man of about 18 or 19 stared back at him. "Oh my God" he stammered.."What the hell's happened to me"?
Marium got up and went over to have a closer look. "It must be the pool, Jim" she said, "The properties in this water must be fantastic".
"You were in there for only a few minutes. "Even the time it took for you to dry off had an effect on you. "Why, you can't be more than seventeen now".
"I-I know" said Jim, suddenly embarrased by the higher pitch in his voice. "What am I going to do"?
Marium thought for a moment. "Well", she said, "For starters, we're not sure that it won't wear off. "Let's just wait awhile and see what happens. Who knows, maybe you'll change back to normal as quickly as you regressed".
"It figures this would have to happen to me". he said in disqust.
Marium tried to assert her authority.."Listen, there's no sense in worrying about this right now. Besides", she said with a grin, "You know, you look kind of cute that way".
Jim stared at her..."Cut it out, will ya"?
They waited. In a short time it was easy to see that, indeed, Jim was returning to normal. He started regaining height, muscle and chest hair.
Marium was fasinated by this miracle and the feeling of power it brought on. She wanted more. Her mind started racing.
Jim, now almost fully normal, gathered up his clothes, although he didn't put them back on. He wandered over to the flat rock and sat down.
"Whew" he said..."What a relief".
Marium walked over and stood looking down at him. "Yeah, a relief", she mumbled.
Jim notice her distant look and asked "What is it"?
Marium pursed her lips and said.."Jim, I have a rather strange request. "I want you to go back into the pool".
"WHAT"!!! he yelped. "Are you crazy, Marium"?
Marium was shocked by his outburst, but quickly recovered. "Listen, Hon, this is a great discovery. "If we could figgure out how to make the change permenant, we would be rich. "I mean, wouldn't you like to be out of debt for once in your life"?
Jim relaxed a little. "I know what your saying, but you can't expect me to risk my manhood and maybe even my life on some 'get rich quick' scheme. I wouldn't do it for all of the money in the world! Let's get some scientists in here and run a few tests on this thing. I'm sure there are better ways to handle this."
Marium moved closer to him. "That's true", she said, "However, I have a more personal reason to do it now instead. "For a long time, I have had a secret desire to make love to a young man, maybe around sixteen. Now you know that once we start letting people in on the secret, we'll never get the privacy to do anything like that. So, how about it? One more time, just for me"? She fluttered her eyes.
Jim didn't know what to say. He was stunned at her request, and yet the thought of going back in the pool was terrifying and tantilizing at the same time. He hadn't mentioned it to her; but the experience had been quite invigorating. He could imagine cells regenerating themselves and his middle aged body suddenly young again. It could become addictive.
He pondered the thought for awhile and finally said "I-I guess it wouldn't hurt anything to try it again". Then he quickly added.."But only to the age I was before. "No younger".
"Fair enough" said Marium, her excitment growing.
Jim dropped his clothes and walked over to the edge of the pool. He hesitated, and almost backed out, then saw Marium unbutton and remove her blouse.
He took a deep breath and waded back into the water. Once in, he stood perfectly still, afraid to move, and felt the tingling sensation just like he had felt before.
This time the change came a little slower. Once again his years were stripped away. His body turned gangley and thin. His beard line lightened and then dissappeared all together. Chest hair receeded and his genitals changed their shape, not much, but somewhat smaller in appearence.
Down, down in years he went, going down a chronological staircase to the boy he once was.
"Can I come out now"? he croaked.
"Not just yet", she said. "Just a little while longer.
Jim waited. A moment passed. More of his maturity fell away. Then he began to notice that the water had started to rise. 'Wait'! he thought, 'the water isn't rising; 'I'm getting shorter'!
"That's enough". he shouted, jumped out and started drying himself off. His shorts didn't come close to fitting him now, and he had to hold them up with one hand.
"Is this what you wanted"? he asked. He was shocked to see that she was now taller than him and he was having to stare up at her. He swallowed hard.
Marium moved closer and looked him over. "You look perfect" she cooed. "Come here lover boy" she said and put her arms around him.
To Jim, she felt a lot bigger to him and the slight feeling of helplesness was turning him on. A bulge formed in his shorts.
Marium pulled away and then reached over and pulled his shorts down slowly and said "I don't think you'll be needing these for awhile, do you"?
Jim's face reddened and it supprised him. After all, this was his 'live in girl' for the last three years. He must have experienced some emotional regression as well, for he was not in control of the situation and he really did feel like a teenager on his first date.
Marium embraced him again. He was definately younger then the last time he went in. And there was no way he was close to seventeen, more like a fifteen year old. She had deliberately kept him in longer than he had wanted. What was it, a feeling of power? She turned her attention to the task at hand.
They made love. Jim was clumsy, but Marium didn't seem to mind. After a while, they lay on their clothes on the cave floor. Marium noticed that Jim had fallen asleep. "Wake up Jimmy, my boy" she said. "We should head back before dark sets in."
There was no response from Jim. Appearently, he was in a deep sleep. Soon he would start to return to normal. But Marium didn't want that to happen; not just yet.
He was lying on his back. She put her hands under his sholders and gently pushed him forward a few inches. There was no response.
Because he was lighter and laying on his clothes, she could move him easily. His feet were near the pool. Pushing him a little more would immerse his feet; but would he notice?
Marium held her breath, and eased him forward. The water rippled outward as his feet touched.
For a long, agonizing minute she watched as nothing happend. And then she began to notice some changes in the fifteen year old. What little chest hair he had began to dissappear, along with the thin, wispy sideburns. Muscle mass diminished, as did body size.
Because he was naked, she could observe the full effect of this magnificent transformation. Jim's already small genitals shrank once again. His pubic region lightened and thinned. He looked less adult with each passing second. The hair under his armpits vanished and his hands got smaller.
He had become an adolessant of twelve and was still regressing. His shorter legs prevented his feet from staying in the water. No problem. She pushed him forward again.
Within minutes, all vestiges of his manhood had dissappeared, leaving behind a child of about ten.
Jim's eyes opened slightly. "Ma-marium" he said in a child's voice.
"Hush, Jim, you're dreaming. "Go back to sleep".
Jim closed his eyes again. He started regressing at a faster rate, possibly because his body was so much smaller.....(nine)....(eight).............................
Marium started to panic. This was getting out of control. She grabbed him behind the arms and pulled him out of the water.
It was a seven year old Jim who woke up suddenly......."What, what"..he said, and stood up. His body continued to wind downward....(Six)....Jim looked up to see his 5'5" girlfriend towering over him and finally realized what had happened to him. "Ma-Marium"...he stammered..."What'd you do to me"?..... he had to stare upwards at her between her now massive looking breasts.
"You made me into a little boy"......The age wheel turned...(five).... .."I not want to be a little boy".......(four)....."Please, make me a mans again"....."I no want to be little".......
Marium reached for Jim but he was startled by the move and backed away from her. He backed up until he lost his footing at the edge of the pool. There was a look of sheer horror on Marium's face as Jim plunged head first into the same water that had belittled him so.
He thrashed violently and tried to reach the edge, but his motion was moving him farther away. Marium could not reach him.......three...... .."Mari-ma"....he cried at the top of his lungs..."Mar-ma..help me"...
Marium panicked. There was not time left. She was going to have to go in and get him. Grabbing a dry shirt, she jumped in and waded over towards him. As she reached the two year old, he seemed to be losing his fight for life.
With tears in her eyes and clearly in a state of shock, Marium scooped her shrunken boyfriend out of the water and quickley dried him off.
Jim looked pathetic, and helpless as any baby. Marium stood in the water and looked hard at him. He had slipped again, and was now not more than a year old.
Fear was clouding her thinking now. Fear that Jim would not survive, and all because of a stupid choice on her part. Jim had swallowed a lot of water. It was possible that, even if he did survive, he would remain a baby for good.
"Don't worry Jimmy", said a now youthful Marium..."If you stay this way, I promise that I'll feed you and take care of you just like you were my own baby".
She placed the infant up to her tiny breast. His mouth instinctively found her nipple and started sucking on it. She giggled. Marium started singing softly to him, unaware of the deadly water that was rising up to meet her, unaware of their danger.
There was just Jimmy and her, an infant and a thirteen year old girl.
